Show 346 REDIRECT EXAMINATION By Mr. Blackmar: Q Mr. Hoyt, the trouble that you had with these boats running ashore in the Colorado River, all of them are note in your diary, and your diary is filed in the Department? A I think I have-- I attempted to put into the diary all of the places where the boat ran onto the bars, and the diary is on file in the Geological Survey. Q And when you testified this morning you refreshed your recollection from that diary? A I refreshed my recollection from my diary, yes. Q Is that a customary procedure in your department, for the person in charge of surveying parties and exploration parties to keep a diary? A Many keep a diary of general interest, which is filed separate from the technical report, yes, sir. Q Your report which you filed in this case you filed in your capacity as a hydraulic engineer? A Yes, sir. Q And that report remains on file in the department for all time? A Yes, sir. Q As a hydraulic engineer, you take considerable pride in your work, professional pride? Mr. Farnsworth: We object to that as irrlelevant and immaterial. 2311 |
